The “Tweet ‘N’ Greet” will create an interactive feed between the fans and artists. Fans will have a direct connection to some of their favorite performers, not only allowing them the opportunity to ask questions, but also providing them with behind-the-scenes access.

The artists and fans get to communicate while they share the common experience of watching the television show.”

 

CMA’s first “Tweet ‘N’ Greet” occurred during the 2009 airing of “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock.”  The chatter created in the social media space helped keep CMA Music Festival as a Top 10 trending topic on Twitter for the entire broadcast.

Blake Shelton To Co-Host The Today Show This Monday

21
Aug 2010
By admin

Blake Shelton truly is one of the industry’s “most versatile of contemporary country singers” (The New York Times) and he is showing just how versatile he can be as he co-hosts with Hoda Kotb on Monday, on NBC’s “Today Show.” 
This is Shelton’s third time on the morning show this year and fourth appearance overall. The Reprise Recording Artist returns to the morning show after sitting down with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb less than two weeks ago to discuss his newly released SIX PAK, All About Tonight, which is currently No. 1 on the SoundScan Top Country Albums chart and his single, “All About Tonight” is No. 1 this week on the Billboard and Country Aircheck (Mediabase) charts. Shelton joked with Gifford that she may not be welcomed back after his stint as co-host for the morning show.

“I don’t think the Today Show knows what they really signed up for with me co-hosting,” Blake says. “I mean, have you read my tweets? I hope they’re ready to sensor me.”

All About Tonight debuted at No. 1 on the SoundScan Top Country Albums chart and No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, making it Shelton’s highest charting record to date. Shelton also received the No. 1 spot this week on the Billboard and Country Aircheck (Mediabase) charts with his single, “All About Tonight.” This marks his second No. 1 of the year and seventh of his career. Shelton is the only solo male country artist – one of three artists overall (Carrie Underwood and Zac Brown Band) – to log more than one chart-topper so far this year on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs with his singles “Hillbilly Bone” and “All About Tonight.”

2011 CMA Music Fest Tickets Go On Sale Beginning August 23rd

14
Aug 2010
By admin

CMA Music Festival is the ultimate destination for Country Music fans from around the globe, featuring non-stop concerts, autograph signings, celebrity events, and more.  In 2011, Nashville’s signature music event will celebrate 40 years of providing unique artist/fan interactions since starting as Fan Fair in 1972. Plans are underway for surprises and special events to commemorate the occasion. 

The dates for the 2011 CMA Music Festival are Thursday through Sunday, June 9-12, 2011. Four-day ticket packages will go on sale Monday, Aug. 23 at 10:00 AM/CDT.  Fans can purchase their tickets through Ticketmaster at Ticketmaster.com or 1-(800)-745-3000. They  can also purchase them through CMAfest.com or 1-(800)-CMA-FEST. Ticket prices are based on the level of seating at LP Field for the Nightly Concerts, and range from $115 to $325 plus handling fees. Since the 2010 CMA Music Festival sold out in advance, fans should order their tickets for next year now in order to reserve their place at what USA Today named “the crown jewel of Country Music festivals.”      

“We are excited to celebrate 40 years of CMA Music Festival and Fan Fair in 2011, and look forward to the fans joining us for all the fun,” said Steve Moore, CMA Chairman of the Board.  “We were fortunate that CMA Music Festival sold out completely in 2010 for the first time. Due to this strong demand, we suggest that fans buy their tickets now rather than waiting until it is too late.” 

 

Earlier this year, the 2010 Festival attracted more than 65,000 fans from all 50 states and 26 nations. The event was filmed for the seventh consecutive year, and will air as a three-hour special on Wednesday, Sept. 1 (8:00-11:00 PM/EDT) on the ABC Television Network. Hosted by Tim McGraw, the special will feature performances from Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Alan Jackson, Jamey Johnson, Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Justin Moore, Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Uncle Kracker, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Zac Brown Band.
